In an NFC heavyweight battle, the Chicago Bears and Seahawks will square off Monday night in Seattle. Here’s what to watch for — and the Tribune’s game predictions.

Chicago Bears tight end Mike Ditka's epic catch and run against the Pittsburgh Steelers comes in as the No. 69 greatest play in NFL history.

Rookie quarterback Kyle Orton put together one of his better performances of the season, completing 17-of-31 passes for a career-high 230 yards and a touchdown. His 23-yard scoring strike to Muhsin Muhammad capped a 99-yard touchdown drive, helping Chicago build a 13-3 halftime lead.

A deal to keep the Chicago Bears from moving to Indiana reportedly is closer than ever, with sources telling Crain's Chicago Business that lawmakers in Springfield could vote as soon as next month on legislation to help the team build a stadium in Illinois.

Though ESPN is broadcasting the game, it won't air on fellow Disney channel ABC 7 because of an episode of "Dancing With the Stars."

I've always been super conscious of mind, body and spirit,” Williams said. “It's just something I have learned about myself."

Running back Kyle Monangai was listed as a nonparticipant on the Chicago Bears’ estimated injury report Thursday, while cornerback Malik Muhammad was limited with a toe injury.

Ditka was such a great athlete that the University of Pittsburgh basketball coach poached him away from the gridiron to help his team. Against hated rival West Virginia, Ditka was assigned to guard some skinny Mountaineer wearing No. 44. Go shut him down, the coach ordered. In about 10 minutes of guarding him, Ditka fouled out.
